Manish’s father, Manglesh Mishra, lives with his family in Malda district of West Bengal, where he was posted as a teacher in a college. “He is living with his family in Malada after he

retired from service. Manish was the eldest among three siblings of Manglesh,” Priyadarshi said. Manish’s second brother Rahul Ranjan is employed in Food Corporation of India (FCI) while the

youngest brother, Vineet Ranjan, is posted in Excise department in West Bengal. Family sources said that Manish was transferred to Hyderabad from Ranchi in Jharkhand about three years ago.

His grandfather Parasnath Mishra, a retired headmaster from a government school, died about a decade ago. The family has an ancestral house in Gorakshni locality of Sasaram, the district

headquarters of Rohtas. Manish’s uncle Alok Ranjan, who lives at Sasaram, said that Manish had called him over the phone while going on a personal tour in Jammu and Kashmir. “The family was

delighted over the tour programme. But destiny had willed it otherwise,” Alok Ranjan said with a heavy heart. Another relative of the slain IB officer said that Manish had gone to Jammu and

Kashmir three days ago. “The family was elated over the trip to Jammu and Kashmir,” recalled Dr. Surendra Mishra. Meanwhile, Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan and chief minister Nitish Kumar

strongly condemned the terrorist attack and killing of innocent tourists in Pahalgam. The Governor expressed deep anguish over the incident and termed the terror attack a cowardice act. CM

Nitish said he is deeply saddened by the loss of the lives of innocent citizens.
